Why wine?

Devon is the new California, doncha know. And one of the indicators are the slew of fine wines that are popping up, so it’s with great pleasure that we can inform you that friends of the republic Kenton Vineyard (’nestling in the foothills of the Haldon Hills’) will be opening its gates to the public from Sunday May 25.
And to celebrate the vineyard’s first birthday, and the uncorking of English Wine Week, there will be a first birthday celebration, with cake. Plus, an exhibition of painting by Jo Talbot Bowen and vine trails are free for the afternoon with a fun nature trail for children under 12.
During the week (May 25 to June 1) the vineyard will be open every day from 11am to 5pm, for the rest of the open season, which ends on September 25, the hours will be Thursday and Sundays 11am to 5pm.
With barely time to take a sip there’s a behind the scenes tour on Tuesday may 27 at 3pm (£6) and Saturday May 31, noon to 4pm there’s a fundraising event for RNLI, with all trail proceeds going to the charity (£2 adult) with a wine quize and prizes and refreshments.
And the wine week ends with a bookable tour with the winemaker, it takes an hour and you get a glass of the stuff.
Phew, you’ll need to put one to chill now.
